hello list,
My Apache 2.2.3 does reverse proxy to an internal backend
(application)server which does Content-Encoding:gzip (=compression) on
most of the content he delivers, by default. The Proxy* directives are
inside a virtual host.
But I'd like the proxy to do all the compression work,
a) because mod_security cannot handle encoded content(in the response
from backend),
b) it would be redundant to compress the already compressed content.
So to talk to the backend uncompressed, I strip the Accept-Encoding with
"Request-Header unset Accept-Encoding" from the client request. Now the
backend sends its responses without compression. But they go to the
client uncompressed too, of course.
What would I have to do to let the proxy compress the response to the
client (again)? Simply setting the SetOutputFilter DEFLATE is not enough.
Also I would have to deal with clients not supporting compression on the
proxy myself, instead of letting the backend do the work.
Best Regards,
matthias
